Hallelujah! It looks like Apple may finally be redesigning its earbuds to stop them from falling out when you exercise

Apple earbuds normally fall out if you try to run with them.

Apple patented a design for earbuds that don't fall out of your ears if you try to do some exercise last year. The patent describes an earpiece with a bendy outer section that forms to fit the user's ear.

This wasn't particularly revolutionary when it comes to earbud design in general, but it is a step away from the hard earpieces Apple gives you when you buy its products. They have a tendency to bounce out of your ear if you do anything more strenuous than walking or sitting down, and they can get really uncomfortable after a while.
